- 1 cup sushi rice - 1 ¼ cups water - 8 ounces fresh salmon fillet, skin removed - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1 teaspoon sesame oil - 1 avocado, sliced - 1 small cucumber, julienned - 1 cup edamame (shelled) - 1 carrot, grated - 2 green onions, chopped - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds - Pickled ginger - Seaweed sheets, cut into strips - Wasabi To cook the sushi rice, rinse it under cold water. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. After cooking, remove it from the heat and let it sit, still covered, for 10 minutes. This resting time makes the rice fluffy. While the rice cooks, cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil. Pour this marinade over the salmon cubes. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes. This step adds a deep flavor to the salmon. For the vegetables, slice the avocado thinly. Julienne the cucumber into thin strips. Grate the carrot finely. If your edamame is not shelled, do that now. These fresh veggies add crunch and color to the bowl. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Divide the rice evenly among your serving bowls. Next, arrange the marinated salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, edamame, and grated carrot on top of the rice. Make it look colorful and inviting. To finish, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the bowls. Add pickled ginger and strips of seaweed on the side for extra flavor. If you like spice, offer a small dollop of wasabi with each bowl. Your TikTok salmon rice bowl is now ready to enjoy! Each bite brings a burst of flavor and freshness. To make perfect sushi rice, rinse it well. Start by washing it in cold water. Swirl the rice in a bowl until the water is cloudy. Drain the water and repeat this until it runs clear. This step is key to removing excess starch. After rinsing, combine the rice with water in a saucepan. Use a 1:1.25 rice-to-water ratio for the best results. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and let it cook for 15-18 minutes. After cooking, let it sit covered for 10 more minutes. This resting time helps the rice finish cooking. If you can't find fresh salmon, don't worry! You can use frozen salmon. Just ensure it is fully thawed before cooking. Alternatively, canned salmon works well too. It adds a different texture but still tastes great. If you're looking for a plant-based option, try marinating tofu instead. It absorbs flavors well and gives a nice texture. To elevate your TikTok Salmon Rice Bowls, think about adding extra flavors. Soy sauce and sesame oil are essentials, but you can add more. Try mixing in some sriracha for a spicy kick. A sprinkle of furikake can also add a tasty crunch. For a fresh twist, include lime juice or a bit of rice vinegar. These simple additions can really enhance your dish. Don't forget to add pickled ginger and wasabi for a burst of flavor! You can make this dish vegan by swapping out the salmon for marinated tofu. Cut firm tofu into cubes and press it to remove extra water. Marinate it in soy sauce and sesame oil for the same flavor. You can also add extra toppings, like roasted chickpeas or grilled mushrooms. These will give great texture and taste. If you prefer meat, chicken works well in this bowl. Use grilled or pan-seared chicken breast, cut into strips. Shrimp is another great option. Just sauté it until pink and opaque. Tofu is a fantastic choice, too. It absorbs flavors well and adds protein without meat. Want to change up the flavor? Try a different marinade. A mix of teriyaki sauce and lime juice adds a sweet kick. You can also use a spicy mayo made from mayo and sriracha for a creamy heat. A splash of lemon juice brightens the dish, too.
